I'll try although it's lonely here. More cops than spectators!

The presence of the cops explains the absence of Pie fans but why no Dees?

    With only one game televised each week, it looks as though Casey are getting more than their fair share of TV coverage.

    Casey 4.5.29 to Collingwood 1.0.6

    Goals McGough Mohr Scanlon Whelan

    Kyle Cheney has had 10 touches and 3 strong marks but his disposal has been ordinary although conditions are not great. They are tailor made for an in and under man like Shane Valenti who has had seven disposals, most of them in the clinches.

    PJ dominating the ruck, Valenti and Jordie McKenzie doing well on the ball. Skipper Kyle Matthews playing strongly.

    Goals Hughes McGough Miller Mohr Newton Scanlon Whelan

    Kyle Cheney has 15 possessions and 4 marks with Shane Valenti and Matty Whelan 11 each

    The Ressies play at City Oval, Coburg tomorrow. Rohan Bail didn't play for the seniors today so he might turn up in the reserves with Buckley, McNamara, Spencer and Zomer.

    Casey 11.14.80 to Collingwood 3.10.28 but the Pies have a strong wind advantage in the last.

    That was Juice's quarter with 3 goals after Casey started slowly with the advantage of the breeze. Cheney has 17 possessions, Valenti 14 and McKenzie 13.

    Bit harsh on watts. thought he and hughes played team games by moving up the ground and blocking the corridor really well. they might not have had much of it but held up collingwood well.

    Why would you laugh at him. Hero. Write more numbers down and continue your role as prophet of the ridiculous and banal.

    coz it was laughable that he debuted ahead of newton. if you're going on vfl form alone, newton averaged stacks more contested marks, kicked stacks more goals and laid stacks more tackles. If we were in a grand final tomorrow, I believe Watts is probably the worst on our whole list, bar rookies. And even then hughes and McKenzie are better. nothing against watts, as i'm sure he will be good in 5 years, but for now he is utterly useless

    I agree with you freak in terms of that there were and still are players playing better footy at casey. And they have put him ahead of a few players. But he is far from useless, and has been solid enough at casey.

    Like Jurrah and i think guys like Hughes might not dominate at vfl level but enjoy the space and cleaner skills of AFL level.

    I have a question about Watts for those who my have seen more of Casey than me. Do they kick it to him much?

    It's just that every time i watch Casey play, they very rarely will kick it to Watts in a contested situation, which makes it hard for me to judge him sometimes.

    Maybe he doesn't present and needs to increase his work rate, or maybe they just prefer to kick it to more mature bodies in contested situations. Like I said, I am not sure, but when watching the games on TV, i'll see a player with the ball and I'll be thinking Watts must be down that way left of screen somewhere, but the ball never seems to get kicked to him.

    Today's game was not suited to him. It was congested with a lot of stoppages and packs.

    I have actually found they love to give it to watts... They use him quite a bit..

    Played mainly on the wing today. Looked ok, but it was truly horrible conditions, i almost had to tie myself to the fence to stand still!!!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
